You can start out by getting a discount of 10 percent, and in 7 days that discount can be reduced down to 5 percent. I ask the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone) to clarify this, but, for example, I am a senior citizen and I have high cholesterol, and I take Lipitor to control my level of cholesterol. I sign up for a card that has Lipitor as one of the medicines that is available under that card, and I am stuck with that card for an entire year, but 2 weeks after I sign up for that particular card, the card's sponsor decides they are not going to provide Lipitor any longer for high cholesterol, they may decide to provide Pravachol or some other drug, and I am left without the ability to get the drug with a discount that my doctor says I need.
